G1 Prix Rothschild

An entirely different proposition away from home soil, Wathnan Racing's Fallen Angel (Too Darn Hot) regained Danny Tudhope and her mojo on Sunday to pick up the winning thread again in Deauville's G1 Prix Rothschild. Benefitting from the reestablishment of a connection that had been ruptured after her success in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last May, the 10-1 shot outstayed the 8-5 favourite January (Kingman) to prevail by a head for a first success in these silks. Start Of Day (Night Of Thunder) was 1 1/2 lengths away in third....

Sunday, Dusseldorf, Germany, post time: 15:40, 167TH HENKEL-PREIS DER DIANA - GERMAN OAKS-G1, €500,000, 3yo, f, 11fT Field: Garden Of Eden (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Santagada (GB) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Spirited Style (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Lady Charlotte (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), Nicoreni (Ger) (Brametot {Ire}), Nyra (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}), Innora (Ger) (Lord Of England {Ger}), Lips Vega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Winnyzja (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}), Starlight Lips (Ger) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Raposa (Ger) (Frankel {GB}), Stugardia (Ger) (Tai Chi {Ger}), Meeresbrise (GB) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Honeybee (Ger)...

Deauville's August-long Festival starts on Sunday, with the G1 Prix Rothschild offering a tantalising clash between some of Ballydoyle and Francis-Henri Graffard's leading ladies. The latter gets ready to saddle White Birch Farm's acquisition Matilda (Soldier Hollow) for the first time following her emphatic 6 1/2-length victory against the colts in the German 2,000 Guineas at Cologne in May. She is joined by Princesse Zahra Aga Khan's Mandanaba (Ghaiyyath), who is back at the mile over which she finished third in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches after looking to run...

Placing her name among some of the elite to have graced Deauville's August Festival, Baron Edouard De Rothschild's Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}--Penne {Fr}, by Sevres Rose {Ire}) made it a third group 1 at the meeting as she recorded back-to-back renewals of the G1 Prix Rothschild on Sunday. Sent off the 7-10 favourite as the race's undisputed leading lady having also garnered last year's G1 Prix Jean Romanet here and this term's G1 Prix d'Ispahan at ParisLongchamp, the Andre Fabre-trained homebred was allowed to coast behind the early...

Sunday sees Deauville's August Festival get underway and with it Baron Edouard De Rothschild's Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) as she bids for back-to-back renewals of the G1 Prix Rothschild. Also successful in the G1 Prix Jean Romanet and in this term's G1 Prix d'Ispahan at ParisLongchamp, the Andre Fabre-trained homebred is the logical choice here having had her most recent form boosted by Horizon Dore (Fr) (Dabirsim {Fr}) at Royal Ascot. She looks a solid proposition re-opposed by Yeguada Centurion's increasingly disappointing Blue Rose Cen (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}),...

Baron Edouard De Rothschild's Mqse De Sevigne (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}--Penne {Fr}, by Sevres Rose {Ire}) had uninspiring credentials heading into the race carrying her owner-breeder's family name at Deauville on Sunday, but what she lacked in credible form was made up for by the fact that she is under the care of Andre Fabre. Saddling a one-two in the first group 1 of the Deauville August festival for good measure as the French fillies came to the fore, the Chantilly maestro was bringing the half-sister to the G1 Grand Prix...

Deauville's month-long racing fest is back upon us on Sunday, with the G1 Prix Rothschild the key event on a talent-packed card. British and Irish interests always excel at this meeting, so the first port of call must be the reinvented miler Rogue Millennium (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who was able to transfer the scintillating speed she had shown over middle distances of late to this trip in Royal Ascot's G2 Duke of Cambridge S. The pride and joy of Tom Clover's stable may have found an ideal opportunity to garner...

Group 2 winner Just Beautiful (GB) (Pride Of Dubai {Aus}) will not participate at Royal Ascot, and will instead point toward targets later in the summer with a trip to the Breeders' Cup also a possibility, trainer Paddy Twomey revealed on Friday. The 5-year-old Moyglare Stud colourbearer ran fifth in the G3 Athasi S. at the Curragh in early May, before taking the G2 Lanwades Stud S. later in the month. The G1 Falmouth S., as well as the G1 Prix Rothschild--both in July--and the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest...

Last term's G1 Sun Chariot S. victrix Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}--Falling Petals {Ire}, by Raven's Pass) posted a fourth in Meydan's Mar. 26 G1 Dubai Turf before regaining the winning thread in Royal Ascot's June 15 G2 Duke of Cambridge S. and continued on a roll with a decisive victory in Tuesday's G1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville. The 3-5 favourite was swiftly into stride and held sway in the centre of the track from the outset of this straight one-mile test. Drawing the sting out of her six...

Deauville's four-week bonanza begins on Tuesday with an array of class across four pattern races headed by the G1 Prix Rothschild, which brings together two of Europe's leading fillies in Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}) and Tenebrism (Caravaggio). While the former's stamina for this mile is assured and proven, TDN Rising Star Tenebrism has yet to confirm that the trip is within reach. Saffron Beach, who had already displayed her quality at this level when overpowering her rivals in Newmarket's G1 Sun Chariot S. in October, arguably performed to...

Tuesday's G1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville will see the July 10 G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Tenebrism (Caravaggio) take on her elders for the first time, with Jane Chapple-Hyam saddling the June 15 G2 Duke of Cambridge S. winner Saffron Beach (Ire) (New Bay {GB}). Among the other six confirmed for the mile contest for fillies and mares is Haras de Saint Pair's May 22 G2 Lanwades Stud S. scorer Pearls Galore (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) and Yeguada Centurion's May 8 G2 Prix du Muguet winner Sibila Spain (Ire) (Frankel...

Group 1 winner Prosperous Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) is headed to the G1 Prix Rothschild in August, according to Jamie McCalmont, who is the racing manager to part-owner Marc Chan. Second to Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) in the G1 Fillies' Mile at two, the Ralph Beckett trainee filled that spot again in the G1 1000 Guineas in the wake of Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}) on May 1. She weakened to 10th in the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot once again behind Inspiral, but bounced back to defeat that foe...
